Dear Harsh,

HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Ltd.(herein after referred to as

Tax Act, 1961. The Employees’ Provident Fund & Misc. Provisions Act, 1952
was made applicable to HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Ltd. effective
November 16, 2007. The company thereafter made an application for exemption
under Para 27A of EPF & MP Act 1952 & Scheme framed there under for
maintaining an exempted PF trust, which was not conceded by the appropriate
authority. The company thereafter made an application for exemption under
para 27A of EPF & MP Act 1952 & Scheme framed there under vide letter dated
January 15, 2009 to RPFC Kandivali. Considering the response, we submitted
representation to RPFC Kandivali and Addl. CPFC Delhi vide letter dated
April 29, 2010 and May 3, 2010, the response of which is still awaited.
Infact, our officials then had also met personally to Mr.Sudhakar Babu, the
then Additional CPFC - Delhi.

While the representation was still under consideration with RPFC/CPFC, the
company based on board resolution made a decision to transfer the PF Trust
Funds to Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and accordingly effective
November 2010 contribution onwards started depositing dues under A/c. I to
RPFC –Mumbai –III Kandivali towards active employees.

In the interim the company also shifted its office from Andheri to it new
premises at Mahalakshmi resulting into change of jurisdiction of RPFC and
hence had made an application to R.O.Mumbai – III, Kandivali for transfer
of all records/file to R.O. Mumbai – I Bandra, which was effected from
kandivali office vide letter No. MH/PF/Co-ord Transfer
out/Allotment/2010-11/161 dated 23.03.11.

We prior and thereafter also had several communication and visit with the
RPFC – Mumbai –III kandivali and Bandra (Dated November 3, 2010 , November
4, 2010, December 1, 2010, December 22, 2010, April 11, 2011, April 25,
2011, May 2, 2011, May 19, 2011, May 29, 2011 and June 23rd 2011 ) followed
by visits on several times to meet the officials. Apart from the same a
communication mail on May 31, 2011 to Additional Central Provident Fund
Commissioner - New Delhi and Regional Provident Fund Commissioner - Bandra
was also sent in regards to transfer of our trust fund to Regional
Provident Fund office and are awaiting their direction on the next steps to
complete this process despite the aforesaid follow-up.

Your intervene in above matter must be required to resolve the matter.

Dear Sir,

We are the recognized staff of RTC Logistics Private Limited, a company in Existence for over 57 years, and we have excellent relationship with Management of the company as they have always taken care of our legitimate needs over the years.

Due to various unforeseen reasons, the company was not doing well since 2009, and company was loosing and we had agreed to resign from the services of the company, as per the request of the Management,with an assurance as and when the company starts its operations that we would be called and given jobs.

The company’s Transportation operations were closed, but the warehousing operations in different parts of the country was happening as this was a contractual obligation with the customers, and the employment was given to the staff at the warehouses were back to back contracts. At our head office, which was relocated in 2011 to 29, perambur high road does not have any staff and only the senior Executives of the company visit on need base to tackle various issues of the company.

We are aware that the company has paid its contribution to PF department, till March 2012 and the necessary payment challans have been shown to us by the Management, and for the reasons not known, the contributions paid by the company is not updated in the system for the year 2010-11 and 2011-12, as we checked in the website and it is not reflecting, and this is causing serious concerns among all the employees. Few employees had approached your Delhi office and got their claims settled. We have been waiting patiently to get the issues sorted out, so that all our employees are getting their PF slips to enable to with draw or transfer the balances to their new PF accounts where they have taken up their employment.

We request your good office to understand the problems of our employees, who have worked in the company, and PF is the only savings and many of our employees are above 50 years, who are suffering and based on the PF contributions, most of them have planned for Weddings of their children, and Medical expenses for themselves and their families etc.

We have been taking up the issue with Management of our company, who do not have any answers as to why the PF slips are not given, and why the contributions paid is not reflecting in the individual accounts of the employees. They have been stating that they are in touch with PF department and will happen soon, and we wanted to meet you in person to assess the exact situation, and to assist our staff to get their PF slips for the contributions paid till March 2012.

We will also undertake to help the authorities to get if any papers are pending from the company side to enable to get this job done at the earliest.

In the Past we did not have any problems either for withdrawal, or for taking loans due to the excellent support from the department as and when there was a need. It is our earnest request that our genuine concerns are addressed by the authorities , and as it is our right to know how much balance each one of us have in our respective accounts. It is also our right that we should be able to draw the amounts, for our needs.

Trust we will get your co operation in understanding, as to why there is a delay in our individual accounts update and when our accounts would be updated to get our PF slips /to know the balance in your official website.

From our side we will depute a person, from our union to co ordinate with Department to assist if any information is required from the company to get this job done as all the employees through out the country have been calling on a daily basis and the pressure is too much and all of us are suffering, for no fault of ours.
